<p>Use the operator to import ASCII or binary STL-files, you can select multiple files at once. |
|
For exporting you can select multiple objects and they will be exported as a single STL-file. |
|
You can select between ASCII/binary file format (binary is more compact). |
|
You can also choose to enable or disable the modifiers during the export.</p> |
